St. Johns/Rice

[ballrific]

trying to follow the stupid tracker but looks like st johns just cut it to 1 run in the bottom of the 5th. 3-2 owls. why is st johns home team?

 

[jmann09]

not sure but i've seen that a lot today, regional hosts as visitors. my guess is they do a coin flip before the game

 

[MulletsGalore]

Rice leading 10-2, bottom 6.

 

[Touchdown_Texas]

well that didn't take long

 

[jmann09]

owls brought in st. clair to shut down the st. john's rally in the 5th. still pitching in the 6th even though rice put up 7 in the top half

 

[FondrenRoad]

So how does this work if SJU loses? Do we play them with the winner needing to beat Rice twice?

 

[jmann09]

Correct

 

[MulletsGalore]

J.P. Padron goes yard, 11-2 Rice, top 7th.

 

[jayakris]

Yes. That is how it works. Beat SJU and then beat Rice twice.

Yes, assuming things stay as they are now, Texas would play St. John's tomorrow afternoon, and the winner of that game would play Rice tomorrow night and would need to win and then beat them again on Monday night to advance to supers.

 

[bassale47]

St. John's isn't even trying anymore. I realize St. Clair is a good pitcher, and the Owls are up big, but geez, act like you give a damn.

 

[jmann09]

disregard everything i said about saving st. clair and whatnot, he's got 3 starts all year, i'm an idiot

 

[bassale47]

I thought I read that they had recently made him the closer, but I didn't realize he only had three starts. I know he started at least two of the games against Texas.

 

[jmann09]

yeah that's what made me think he was one of their best starters, even though i do remember we roughed him up both times

looks like langwell is a likely starter for them tomorrow, hopefully against us.

langwell (rhp) - 5-1, 4.38 era, 72 ip in 13 starts, 62 k, 28 bb, .269 opp avg

 

[bassale47]

Don't think he pitched in any of the games against Texas because I don't remember him.

Just checked the box score of the game Texas won against Rice, and Riley Boening was the starter of that game. Only went 2 innings and gave up 2 hits, but no runs and no walks on 20 pitches. Kasparek and Workman started the other two, but they were pretty much all pitcher-by-committee. It should be noted that in three games against the Owls, Austin Wood has not pitched against them at all.

Texassports.com has us playing Rice at 2 PM - I was all excited thinking St John's had won.

 

[jmann09]

hopefully they are right about the opponent, just at a different time

 

[bassale47]

That's very strange. Last time I checked last night, they had St. John's up there. Unless St. John's quit or was disqualified for something late last night, Texas is playing St. John's at 2:00 and (hopefully) Rice at 6:00.

So I wonder what happens today with Texas and St. John's. In the last meeting of these two teams, Texas was the home team. But yesterday, St. John's was the home team against Rice while Texas was the visiting team against SHSU.

I'm guessing they'll either go with the first criteria satisfied, or they'll flip for it.

 

[Beau Vine]

I think 3a. means that St. John's will be home today.
